Eugert Sino prosecuted as alleged leader of Albanian weapons group
Albania’s special prosecutors, SPAK, have sent Eugert Sino’s case to court over a major weapons cache. They allege he led and financed a criminal group that acquired 23 firearms and 7,820 rounds of ammunition. The investigation into possible accomplices is continuing separately.
SPAK announced on 28 October that its investigation into Eugert Sino was complete and the case had been referred to the special first-instance court. Prosecutors accuse him of illegal weapons possession within a structured criminal group in which he allegedly held a leadership role.
According to the prosecution statement, Sino and others obtained five long guns or sniper rifles, six automatic weapons and twelve pistols. It also lists 7,820 rounds. SPAK says experts found the examined weapons and ammunition technically usable.
The case concerns more than who possessed the cache. Prosecutors allege Sino directed and financed the activities. Investigators cooperated with Kosovo’s judicial authorities, Albanian criminal investigators and the national investigation bureau.
The possible involvement of other people is being examined in a separate investigation.
